Chapter 5 Square Table
7 p.m
The frightened crowd returned to the house and sat around the rectangular table full of vegetables, which were already so cold that no one would look at them now, even if they were freshly cooked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Everyone's hearts are still stirring, and no one can calm down at this time.
Jiang Xinglong, who had just lost his wife, sat in the northernmost seat of the longitudinal table of the dining table, smoking cigarettes one after another, his eyes were blank, his hair was messy, his hair, face, and clothes were covered with mud, and there were still a little tears in the corners of his red and swollen eyes.
Led by Jiang Xinglong, the first seat on the west side of the table sat Liang Yongxin, who looked even worse, also covered in dirt, with his head buried deep between his arms, his hands in his hair, and trembling uncontrollably. It's no wonder that these friends were all invited by him, and he is the owner of the house here, and now that something like this has happened, it is estimated that Liang Yongxin has no master.
Yuan Mujin and Bian Benyi sat directly opposite Liang Yongxin, that is, on the first and second seats on the east side, at this time, the faces of the two no longer had the style of successful people, and they were leaning together in a daze.
Sitting next to them was the tall and thin woman who had just chatted together, her name was Fan Xin'er, wearing a long dress with flowers on a blue background, the skirt was already wet at this time, and it was tightly stuck to her calves. She kept crying quietly, wiping her tears with a tissue in one hand, and the other hand was tightly held by the fat man on her other side.
The fat man sat at the southernmost end of the table, Fan Xin'er's husband, named Wei Guigui, who wore a crumpled cheap suit. Although he looked pale and frightened, he tried his best to comfort his wife.
Also scared of the six gods was Lu Huimei, who was sitting next to Liang Yongxin, how could the pampered eldest lady stand this, and she was holding Luo Yifan and crying at this time.
Luo Yifan sat there with his arms crossed and said nothing.
There are three other people, that is, the chubby girl who helped Liang Yongxin serve the food together, the man who looks like a scholar and the thin man with gloomy eyes. The fat girl and the "scholar" are a couple of college students, the female is named He Mina and the male is named Fei Gu, they studied environmental science in college, and they came to Luoquewu to write their graduation thesis to experience life. And the skinny man's name was Buhe, a Mongolian, a self-proclaimed explorer in the wilderness, and to put it bluntly, he was completely here to visit.
The three of them were sitting on the couch not far away at the moment, and no one looked at their expressions, only the girl's small sobs.
Since then, there have been a total of 11 people in the house, including the owner. Of course, Jiang Xiaomei, who fell into the valley, is not counted.
"Guys, it's not an idea to sit like this, tell me what you think." Now the only one in the Luo Que House can speak calmly is Luo Yifan.
"What's the opinion, of course, hurry up and call the police!" Lu Huimei raised her head sharply and screamed.
"What to call the police? Well? Luo Yifan asked.
"Hands... Mobile phones, of course! That's right, my phone! ”
Lu Huimei said as she prepared to pounce on her bag on the mantelpiece.
was dragged back by Luo Yifan, and one stumbled down on the chair.
"What are you doing?!"
Luo Yifan didn't answer, just raised his chin diagonally to the opposite side, motioning for her to look over.
At this time, Yuan Muhibiscus on the opposite side spoke, still holding her husband's iPhone in her hand.
"It's useless, there's no signal here at all."
"No, then... What about the phone? Hurry up and call! ”
"No...... The phone ......" Liang Yongxin's muffled voice came from between his arms.
"What?! Are you an idiot?! ”
Lu Huimei suddenly stood up and yelled at Liang Yongxin.
"Say no more, sit down"
After Luo Yifan stopped Lu Huimei, who wanted to continue scolding, he turned his head to look at everyone:
"It's normal for you to be unacceptable for a moment when something like this happens. However, we can't solve any problems by sitting down, and now Ms. Jiang Xiaomei's life and death are uncertain, and we must first find a way to save them. ”
"Saving people? How to save?! If she falls into such a deep valley and dies early, do we still have to go down to bury her? Bian Benyi immediately objected.
"Bastard!!"
His words immediately angered Jiang Xinglong, and he rushed over like crazy and grabbed Bian Benyi's collar, knocking Yuan Mu Hibiscus and his chair, who were caught between the two of them, to the ground.
With a loud bang, Yuan Mu Hibiscus sat firmly on the floor, her eyes were so painful that her eyes were full of stars, and even her slippers flew under the table.
"Teacher!" Liang Yongxin hurriedly kicked away the chair and rushed over to help.
He Mina, who was behind her, also reacted and hurriedly rushed up to help people.
Seeing his wife being knocked like this, Bian Benyi was also angry, the two men scuffled together like angry lions, the chair and the table were slammed into a "clang" sound, and the dishes on the table were also shaken and confused, and several plates flew to the ground.
For a while, the screams of women, the roars of men, and the voices of everyone were all intertwined, and it was impossible to hear who was saying what.
Yuan Mu Hibiscus, who had just been helped up from the ground, didn't care about the pain, hugged her husband from the front, and shouted: "Stop!" Stop!! ”
Fei Gu and Bu He, who rushed over on the other side, also hugged Jiang Xinglong, who had lost his mind, and pulled him back.
Thanks to the efforts of everyone, the fight barely subsided. But the faces of both warring sides were painted.
Motoki hibiscus pulled her panting husband to sit on the sofa on the other side of the table, comforted him, and covered the bruises on his face with a handkerchief.
"Swimming, do you have a medical kit?" She asked Liang Yongxin, who came to help.
"Oh, yes, I'll get it."
Liang Yongxin stood up and ran into the back room.
On the other side of the room, except for Fan Xin'er, who helped Jiang Xinglong deal with his wounds, the rest of the people were cleaning up the mess. Even Lu Huimei, who has the biggest temper, knows that she can't be willful anymore at this time, and is helping to hold up the chair.
Almost after that, Luo Yifan was the first to straighten up, and he seemed to have been thinking about something during the whole process, when he suddenly spoke:
"Don't you think there's a problem here?"
"Ask, question?"
"What do you mean?"
Lu Emi and Bu He followed closely and stopped what they were doing and asked in a panic.
The others also stopped and looked at him strangely.
Luo Yifan looked around at the crowd, and finally stopped his gaze on Jiang Xinglong's face, and asked, "Boss Jiang, you were the first to arrive at the bridge, can you tell us about what you saw at that time?" ”
"Oh... Good. Jiang Xinglong's mood had stabilized a lot at this time, and after a pause for a few seconds, he said while thinking: "At that time, I wanted to see the condition of the bridge, and rushed over without thinking much about anything else. ”
"Is it on fire?" Luo Yifan asked.
"No, no, I thought it was strange at the time, if there was a fire, there would be so much smoke, the fire should be very big, but there was no flame at all, only sparks splashing out. And... It's been raining all day, so it's unlikely to catch fire, right? ”
"Well, do you think it's a smoke bomb?"
"Smoke bombs? How can it be? Who will bring smoke bombs here? And for what purpose? ”
Jiang Xinglong asked a series of questions and looked at the others with his eyes puzzled.
The rest of the people looked at each other at a loss as he asked.
After a while, Buhe, who had been standing on one side, said thoughtfully: "It can't be a smoke bomb, if it was a smoke bomb, the bridge should be fine, but now it is obvious that the wooden planks on the bridge have burst, and the entire bridge deck is almost destroyed, so I think it must be something like earth explosives." ”
"So, Boss Jiang, did you see anything unusual on the bridge deck under the smoke when you got to the bridge?" Luo Yifan asked.
"No......" Jiang Xinglong thought about it carefully for a while, and said affirmatively: "It's really not, the bridge deck should be good at that time, and I didn't hear any cracking sounds." If I had to say anything, I would hear a very small "silky" sound. ”
After listening to Jiang Xinglong's words, the doubts on Luo Yifan's face deepened.
"That's even more wrong," he said, "do you think that ordinary explosives might smoke first and then explode after ten minutes?" When I first saw it in my room, there was already a lot of smoke on the bridge, which means that the smoke on the bridge should have started to smoke within a few minutes after the car of Boss Jiang and his wife crossed the bridge. It took at least two or three minutes from the time I informed everyone to Boss Jiang's arrival at the bridge, and then it took three or four minutes for the rest of us to arrive outside the house. By the way, Boss Yuan, when did you see the bridge deck bursting? Luo Yifan turned to Yuan Mu Hibiscus and asked.
"Hmm... It was probably when you were about to take a look at Madame Chiang under the bridge after you rescued the people. At that time, a few of us women were not at ease, so they came to see, I should have walked in the front, and when I was halfway there, I saw that the bridge seemed to be exploding, so I shouted to you. ”
"So I don't think it makes sense to say it's explosives, unless somebody puts smoke bombs and then explosives. But there is also the question here, who is doing this and for what purpose? Isn't that too much trouble? If the purpose of setting off smoke bombs is to lure people out, and the purpose of putting explosives is to trap us, don't you think the prisoners are a bit redundant? As long as he calculates the right time and blows up the bridge directly, these two goals will be achieved at the same time. ”
"And ......" Luo Yifan stopped his analysis and looked at everyone one by one meaningfully, and a sense of ominousness rose in everyone's hearts when they saw him.
"What I'm trying to say is that whatever is on the bridge, it's likely that someone in this room did it. In other words, one or more of the people who are here right now may have bad intentions and seek opportunities to disadvantage others. ”
"Won't it?" Hearing Luo Yifan say this, Lu Huimei trembled with fright, and her hands unconsciously hugged her body.
The atmosphere in the living room instantly became weird, and everyone looked at others with puzzled and uneasy eyes, including Luo Yifan......
Moreover, it seems that everyone has forgotten, and Liang Yongxin, who went to get the medicine box, has never appeared again......
Where did he go?
The house was already covered in darkness, and the chandelier on the roof was unusually dim, and even the human heart gradually became unfathomable......
